So I was spending the afternoon doing work at Fuel, my favorite local coffee shop, and one of the employees decided to stream this entire album in the shop. Now, I had previewed this album a bit when it came out, and had listened to its lead single, "Closer", a bunch of times, but this first full listen made me a believer. Tegan & Sara's new album, "Heartthrob", is ten tracks of pure fun. Tegan & Sara's vocals are the definition of the bubbly pop sound, but have that unique indie sound that makes them stand out. Lyrically, the duo doesn't take too much risk, staying within their comfort zone of the struggles of love, but that doesn't really bother me. The instrumentals have a full-bodied pop sound, infused with prominent electronic synths to create an energetic, fun sound. Overall, it's an album (the first from Tegan & Sara for me) that you can easily play straight through. It's safe to say that in the hour this album was playing at Fuel, I did alot more head bobbing and singing under my breath than I did work, but I'm not complaining.
